The sonochemical decomposition of volatile organometallic compounds produces high surface area solids that consist of agglomerates of nanometer clusters. For iron pentacarbonyl and tricarbonylnitrosylcobalt, nanostructured metals and alloys are formed; for molybdenum hexacarbonyl, the metal carbide is produced. These sonochemically produced nanostructured solids are active heterogeneous catalysts for hydrocarbon re-forming and CO hydrogenation. The sonochemical synthesis, characterization, and catalytic studies will be discussed in this review. 47 refs., 10 figs.
